Health of our community about as
usual. The families who have been
chilling are still chilling, though the
disease seems to be gradually abat
ing.
The farmers are very well up with
their cotton picking, and most all
are selling as fast as it is ginned.
Cotton has been to 15 cents, but
has dropped back to about 13 7-8.
Mr. J. D. Smith, an old ex-confed
erate veteran of the old 39th Ga.
Regiment, Co., IL, passed away last
week. He died at his home where he
had been living since the war. He
was a brave and good soldier who
left his home, his wife and children
to contend for Southern rights. He
served about two years in the ranks
with a gun, but was detailed to tan
leather in the state of Mississippi
for the use of the confederate gov
ernment. Bro. Smith was 82 years
old. He was a member of the Meth
odist church. He leaves his aged
companion and four sons. Rev. J. M.
Smith of this place, Thos. J. Smith.
Hud Smith of Birmingham, Ala., and
Henry Smith of Rome to mourn his
death. Ho lived to a good old age
and was likened to an car of corn
fully ripe and ready to be housed in.
He lived out his three score years
and ten. and God saw fit to remove
| him from this troublesome world be
low to an house not made with hands
eternal in the Heavens. Bro. Smith
has been in feeble health for several
years, but now is done with all
I sickness, pain and sorrow, and has
paid th» debt we all must sooner or
1 I later pay.
i People have been kept very busy
I since the hail storm to save their
| cotton and we have had the finest
| weather for gatheaing cotton and
I corn and to sow but little
| corn has yet been gathered, only
[ for feeding purposes. No wheat or
I oats sown yet. It has not rained
I since the storm of OWober.
■ It is lime now wheat and oats were
I being put in the ground.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1903.
we could price our own cotton, but
I do not think that time will ever
come that all farmers will be out of
debt. I know it will not come as
i long as we have to raise cotton to
! buy all our supplies, even if cotton
was 20 cents a pound. The farmers
could not afford to pay 14 cents for
meat and from $2.80 to 3.20 for flour
and one dollar per bushel for corn.
15 to »*) dollars per ton for hay.
That is the way prices have been
running, and the higher we get for
cotton the more we pay for supplies.
So would it not be wise in the farm
ers to diversify and try to make the
farm as self sustaining as possible.
With high priced provisions and dry
goods. clothing etc, I can not see
much better times in the future for
the common people of the country.

HIGH POINT.
The health of this community is
very good.
Most everybody is getting along
rather slow gathering their cotton
since the hail storm. But we have
had some mighty pretty weather for
gathering up storm cotton.
